Juno (movie)

I just saw a little bit about this online and i'm looking forward to it being released as well. It has the same kind of buzz little miss sunshine did last year.

I like Ellen Page a lot so i hope this is good.

it DOES look to be so good! i've seen the trailers for it a few times now...definitely promising!

i'm excited. saw a preview the other day and it looks funny. who's the girl that plays the lead? is she related to anyone famous? she looks too young for me to recognize her but she looked so familiar...

Her name is Ellen Page. She was in Hard Candy & played Kitty Pryde (little girl that could walk through walls) in X-Men.

I've read some interviews with her she seems really cool and has really good taste in music. she helped pick the soundtrack for Juno and she plays some guitar in the movie evidently.

I finally got to see this movie last night and i really really liked it.

It seemed at times the dialogue may have tried too hard to be uber-cool but other times it was just hilarous!

Ellen Page was excellent in her role. It is a very heart felt movie that reminded me a lot of Garden State.

In fact i would say it takes the heart felt storly line that Garden State utilized mixed in interesting dialogue like Napolean Dynomite, and sprinkled in the easy to relate to family aspect of Little Miss Sunshine!

Really funny and a good story too. Not to mention an awesome soundtrack!

I agree. I thought the movie was great, and the soundtrack was appropriately quirky. I, too, thought some of the dialogue was trying too hard to be "cool anti-teen" but I totally enjoyed the movie.

My last name is Page, so maybe Ellen and I are related!? I still try to tell people I might be related to Jimmy Page! Ya never know!

sheesh. i don't know what's happening to my long island, i haven't seen this movie playing anywhere. damn. i used to think our theatres were fantastic, but i guess we have so few indie places left, don't show em all...or stagger em. it's a love/hate thing with the big theatre chains. WAY more comofrtable theatres, bigger/better screens and sound systems, but they ALL play the SAME blockbuster flicks, so rare to get the indie flicks there. so have to depend on the smaller community theatres....most of which are now owned by chains anyway and charge just as much, but far smaller/uncomfortable. ugh.


sorry for the rant. i want to see this flick - looks good! and it just reminds me of this whole 'theatre issue. ' went to see margot at the wedding...it sucked, but at the local community theatre that plays mostly the indie flicks, sat in uncomfortable seats with a small screen...for the same price as a big theatre. my hubby said he won't go again. now, the savages which i can't wait to see, is playing ONLY there....ugh.....guess i am going solo.


anyhoooooooo...i want to see juno so i hope it shows up soon!




late edit* oops! shows what i know! just looked at yahoo movies and it IS playing by me, at 2 of the crap local indie theatres and in one of my fave theatres, so wooohooo!:)

i just saw it tonight and it was fantaaastic. seriously i loved it! everyone should go see it

since the first time i saw Garden State i thought no other movie could bump it off the top of my list, but dayum, didn't Juno blow my socks off tonight!

Ellen Page was so great (We Maritimers are a talented bunch! ) and Michael Cera was so endearing i wanted to reach through the screen and pinch his cheeks.

it was quirky as hell, and yes there was the odd time the dialogue tried to out-quirk itself but it didn't really bother me that much.

anyone who thought Page was funny in the movie should check out the clip of her on Letterman from Monday night. She's hilarious!

(i've been driving everyone at work crazy listening to the soundtrack for the past couple of weeks. Loose Lips was my favourite track...it was the song playing during the credits.)

Saw it this evening...loved it!
Cera delivers once again...which isn't surprising..as he rules!
His leading lady also does a wonderful job! Hopes to see her in lots of films to come!

Haven't seen it yet, but I'd like to.

As for the sountrack, I've never been a huge fan of a lot of this style [my friend sent me a couple songs] but for some reason right now I really like it a lot.

I do love Cat Power though.
